So as far as what would I reccomend for a great mod for anyone.....invest in this setup that Tom has built for me and go out and enjoy the gains!!! 9sec9 is going to be amazed when he see's the results himself.
If you could have seen where the numbers were going on race gas before dave pulled 3 degrees of timing I was utterly shocked!!!

Here are a couple shots of the 3" short route UICP we've built for another of our customers. He has a 3" LICP as well that's not pictured. If you'd like a set, no problem just let me know

I can tell from the picture its a stock TB... possibly ported though. Look at the end of the UICP and you can see the silicone necks down.


EDIT---

Speaking of, I do have a suggestion i'd like to make. I'd like to see your intercoolers with a selectable inlet/outlet size to what we suggest. It would really be best to take the hot air off the turbo in 3" to a 3" inlet for the intercooler, but from the intercooler to TB a 2.5" route would actually increase velocity of the incoming air. Doesn't seem like too hard of an option to implement...

I'm not certain if it was ported or not, I'll wait for him to chime in.

We are offering inlet/outlet and piping sizes in any custom configuration you'd like. Just ask!

Is there any benefits to 3" I/C piping with a stock turbo? If not when would it be?

Ah hah! Excellent news.... I usually just stick to what I see on the website. I try and not contact as I know you guys are super busy. Looks like I'll need that 3" LICP with my PT67 from you guys shortly.

Personally, I do not see how it could be. Its just like choosing an improperly sized intercooler on a small turbo. The smaller turbo would spool slower as its needing to fill more area in the intercooler before making its way out (or how I see it anyway...)

I can see when you start getting to FP3065 size or large it being a benefit to get more air IN. Theres gotta be a fine line where something is restrictive.

Im going with a 3065 so after I get it I will consider it but I would like some dyno proof as Im sure other people would. ETS really needs that dyno up and running
